I think it's possible to use LaTeX for this, as long as you're willing to provide the document basis, put an \include for the drawing contents and then have a small processing script that generates this file. There is some LaTeX document class that supports graphs, I think. The output would be PS or PDF. For manual work, xfig can be used, but I'm not sure if it can be "remote controlled" by a data file. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
